Just got done with the interior on the 74 car. Pulled it all out and completely cleaned it. Car has been buffed with a combination of PS21 cleaner and Mequire's scratch
remover. Really turned out nice. I picked up the Mequire's clay bar system too. What has been your experiences using them? Is it worth the effort? I gather once it's cleaned with the bar, you just apply wax or does other prep work need to be done to get the clay residue off (if any)? Thanks Tod |

Just did this last night on the 911, with Meguiars.
The car was recently (well 3 years ago) completely painted, but I suspect it sat at the shop, as all the top surfaces had what feels like overspray. You could not see anything just feel it... I did two complete clay applications, and a ton of "stuff" ended up on the bar. Paint is baby butt smooth now. Ran out of time for wax, but plan on the Meguairs cleaner wax and then a final coat of their Tech Wax. (Not used it yet, figured I'd give it a shot). Ferg (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
